Research Interests

My primary area of research is identity development with an emphasis on factors that influence
educational experiences and future aspirations and career choices.
I also conduct research on the assessment and measurement
of individual differences in interests, values, personality, and ability
perceptions; multicultural issues in career counseling and the perceived
costs of racism; and methods of structural data analysis.
